Elemental Love
Another heat filled day on Earth, another day of struggling to make ends meet for my life as a bartender for a small local bar. Sure it's not the greatest job in the world, but it keeps a roof over my head and puts food on my table. Showering quickly in luke warm water, I let my thoughts drift in and out of what needed to be done in order to make ends meet. Before I knew it I was dressed in a white button up white shirt, a wine red vest, black leather mini-skirt, and ankle boots of red. Staring in the mirror at my shoulder length dark red hair that appeared like ebony in low light I began to run a straightener through it, emphasizing the layers flowing through all my hair. "Ring...Ring ring...Ring ring ring ring..." Yelled my cellphone. Setting down the straightener I answered, "Hello?" "Chisato, it's your manager. I'm afraid you are being let go. We can't afford to keep you working for us any longer. You check was mailed yesterday and I hope you have luck in finding a new place to work." I stared in silence before answering, "Thank you...good bye."
Setting my phone onto the counter I stared in silence at my reflection, feeling my anger welling up rather quickly. Quickly squashing the feeling I dressed into a nice pair of black jeans, a dark blue vested top, and dark blue flats. Applying a tiny amount of make-up meaning just mascara and lip gloss; I set out the door in search of a new and hopefully better job. I went from business to business asking for a job but never landing a single one. I stopped at a local smoothie shop and sat outside in the sunlight. "Man...I need to find a job..." I sighed sipping my lemon water. I picked up a newspaper settled on the table and looked in the job ads. I was scanning through all the ads when I discovered a job that was with a company called Capsule Corp. This corp was the largest company on the planet, it provided almost all the technology that we use today.
Paying up for the lemon water I caught a bus to the legendary company. Watching the scenery go passed till I was stopped in front of the mansion that the ad had listed. I stared at the fabulous place as I walked up the walk way and rang the door bell. The person to open the door was a man with white hair like Albert Einstein. "Hello, How may I help you." He replied. I smiled politely, "Hello, I am here about the help wanted ad your company posted in the paper." The man beamed, "AH yes! My daughter is the one you need to speak with, come I will take you to her." I felt an equally large smile spread across my lips, "Thank you so much."
I was led to the left of the estate up to another mansion on the large estate. I stared at the large house as the father entered with me right behind him. "Bulma dear." Called her father. A blue haired woman with a red headband in her hair came down. "Oh! Who's this?" She asked her blue eyes watching me. I stepped forward holding out my hand, "My name is Chisato Hyobanshi, I am here answering your help wanted ad." I said politely. Bulma smiled and shook my hand, "Ah! Great! Tell me, how do you feel about helping me out with small things like handing me tools, helping fix machines of all sorts, and various other small things." I thought it over before looking her square in the eyes, "I will do anything you tell me to. I will work as long as you need me to." Bulma's eyes sparkled, "You're hired! Welcome to the Capsule Corp family." She said shaking my hand eagerly. "So...when can I start?" I asked her. She beamed, "Right now!" I laughed as she took me up the stairs as quickly as she could and into a high tech room. I need you to write down all the items on this blueprint that have an amount written in parentheses and then I will go out and retrieve said items." She explained. I smiled and took a seat infront of the blueprint and began to take notes of the items she was requesting. I worked silently when Bulma suddenly asked, "Chisato, tell me. What was your job before this." I felt my lips twitch into a frown, "I was a bartender before this. I got fired this morning actually. I had been searching for a couple hours now until I stumbled upon your job ad." I explained. "I see...so you were working every night to make ends meet I bet." She said. I nodded and turned so that I could meet her gaze, "I have worked for that bar for the last three years...its a shame to lose that job after all this time but I think I will find a love for this place." She smiled softly, "I think we are going to have an excellent partnership Chisato."
And that's how it was for the next few months.
